Images of a 1979 CS2 Spider 2000. Owned by a friend we are replacing the suspension, steering, and brakes (all finished in October 2011), having the car painted the original green (finished February 2012), and upgrading the 2000cc engine with a polished 1592cc head and a Weber DFEV carburetor (finished November 2011). It has a stock 4/2/1 exhaust. The car, originally from Alaska, is extremely original, though neglected, and everything still “exists” but needs serious cleaning. It is a fun project to make a nice driver out of a car that found a good owner.
